Hello students,

I have an important message…many employers think LOUGHBOROUGH students and graduates are AWESOME! Read on for more information…

I am the Employer Engagement Manager for the Careers and Employability Centre at Loughborough University and as such get to work with hundreds of employers who want to employ YOU! So much so, each year they have a strategy for engaging with Loughborough students and organise activities just to raise their profile. They even compete with each other just so they can attract Loughborough’s top students!

You may think that this is the case with all top universities? Not so, our Graduate Recruitment and Placement Fair is now the BIGGEST careers fair in the UK with 182 exhibitors. We also arrange over 80 employer events during October and November which is not the case for many other universities… all because employers want to attract Loughborough students.

So, to keep the employers coming and to make these events the huge success they deserve we need YOU to support them by making sure you attend!

And REMEMBER to keep an open mind as the majority of employers recruit from ANY discipline and, for example, an engineering company could also have opportunities in other areas, such as, HR and Marketing. So, you could be studying any subject and still be able to attend the majority of our employer events.

Make sure you don’t miss out and follow the links below..

Please go here for further details of the fair: http://www.lboro.ac.uk/service/careers/events/employer/fairs/graduate-fair.html

One last thing, the Careers and Employability Centre is here to help…if you would like advice and guidance on attending any employer event or how to apply for a position, book yourself an appointment by emailing careers@lboro.ac.uk.
